Moving into a new space—whether it’s a small apartment a few blocks away from your old one or a whole ass house thousands of miles away—is e v e r y t h i n g. Not only is it an opportunity for a fresh start, but moving is also a great excuse to do some serious damage at your fave home decor stores.
If you’re the friend or family member of a new resident (and I’m guessing you are if you stumbled upon this page), you also have plenty of reason to celebrate. For one, seeing someone you love put a down payment on their dream home is a very exciting moment and something to be proud of. You also get to attend the housewarming party, and—most importantly—you get to shop for a housewarming gift that’ll help them get settled. After all, they have new mortgage payments or monthly rent they’ll be paying and will appreciate allllll the help they can get on the decorating front.
Below, you’ll find 72 unique housewarming gift ideas that are super thoughtful, personal, and actually useful.
From affordable and traditional options like a doormat, an indoor houseplant, and an aromatherapy candle, to luxe decor items like floating shelves, marble coasters, and throw pillows, scroll through to see more! Oh, and don’t blame us if you end up wanting to keep these housewarming gifts for yourself. 🙃
